- During the last five years, the countrymen have come to
believe that the Government is always with them, working
to improve their lives and to enhance their Ease of Living.
Based on this wealth of people’s trust, a fresh mandate
was sought. - People of the country have long waited for the basic
amenities of life. But now the conditions are changing.
My Government wants to make the people conscious,
capable, well-provided and unfettered to such an extent
that that they do not feel the “Burden, Force, or Absence”
of the Government in their daily life. Empowering every
person in the country is the main goal of my Government. - Three weeks ago, on 30th May, immediately after
swearing-in the Government has started working towards
building a New India. A New India:- Where equal opportunities to progress are available to
every person; - Where life of every person becomes better and their self-
esteem is enhanced; - Where brotherhood and harmony bind the people with
each other; - Where the foundation built on our ideals and values
becomes stronger; and - Where the benefits of development reach every region
and the last person standing in the queue.
- Where equal opportunities to progress are available to
- It is a matter of pride for every Indian that when our country
completes 75 years of independence in 2022, we would
have achieved many national goals for building a New
India. To pave the way for the golden future of New India,
my Government has resolved:
On this path of a New India, the rural India will be strong
and urban India will also be empowered;
On this path of a New India, the entrepreneurial India will
attain new heights and the dreams of young India will also
be fulfilled;
On this path of a New India, all systems will be transparent
and the prestige of honest countrymen will increase further;
On this path of a New India, infrastructure for the 21st
century will be built and all resources for creation of a
powerful India will be mobilised.
In the light of these resolutions, in a short period of 21
days, my Government has taken many decisions aimed at
the welfare of farmers, soldiers, students, entrepreneurs,
women and other sections of society and have also started
implementing them. Initiatives have also been taken to enact
several new laws.- A decision has been taken to increase the income support
to farmers who are our Annadaata, by extending the
coverage under ‘Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi’, to
every farmer in the country. To enable the farmer brothers
and sisters who work day and night in their fields to lead
a respectable life after attaining the age of 60 years, a
‘Pension Scheme’ for them has also been approved. - Livestock is invaluable for farmers. They have to spend
a lot of money for treatment of cattle-related diseases.
To reduce this expenditure, my Government has also
decided to start a special scheme with an allocation of
Rs 13,000 crore. - For the first time, a Government has taken note of the
economic security of small shopkeepers. In the very first
meeting of the Cabinet, a separate ‘Pension Scheme’ has
been approved for small shopkeepers and retail traders.
About 3 crore small shopkeepers in the country will benefit
from this scheme. - It is our duty to secure the future of children of those
who guard the border, and ensure peace and security
